Praise for the first edition:
‘…a unique book, written by a unique GP. There is no one better placed to pull together decades of learning and experience on how to achieve the greatest success in the general practice consultation. The relaxed pace of writing, the accessible examples, the clear narrative and the engaging anecdotes make this a resource that is accessible and useful to all who seek to improve their clinical consulting skills.’
Helen Stokes-Lampard, former Chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners
‘Excellent and easy to remember structure; this is the approach I’ll use daily.’
GP ST3
The second edition of this well-received book, fully revised to reflect changes to the RCGP Membership examination, helps GPs to establish ways of thinking, talking and behaving in the consultation that are most likely to lead to good outcomes. It describes a simple three-part approach to the consultation’s essential task, which is to convert a patient’s problem into a plan acceptable to both patient and doctor. It combines reader-friendly explanations, helpful illustrations and examples from everyday practice.
Consulting in a Nutshell will help GPs at every career stage – from medical student to SCA candidate to experienced practitioner – to analyse, develop and grow their personal consulting style. At a time of ongoing and profound change in primary care, it aims to ensure that seeing patients and having good consultations becomes and remains a source of satisfaction and fulfilment.

About the Author
About the author
Roger Neighbour OBE MA MB BChir DSc FRCP FRCGP FRACGP
Roger qualified from King’s College, Cambridge, and St Thomas’ Hospital, London. After vocational training in Watford, he practised as a GP in Abbot’s Langley, Hertfordshire, from 1974 to 2003. He was a trainer and programme director with the Watford Vocational Training Scheme for many years, an MRCGP examiner for 20 years and the Royal College of General Practitioners’ Chief Examiner from 1997 to 2002. In 2003, he was elected President of the RCGP for a three-year term. In 2011 he was made an OBE for services to medical education. Having studied experimental psychology instead of biochemistry as an undergraduate, Roger found himself fascinated by the psychology of the consultation and the doctor–patient relationship in general practice. This interest led him to write his ‘Inner’ trilogy: The Inner Consultation (1987), The Inner Apprentice (1992) and The Inner Physician (2016). A collection of his medico-philosophical writings, I’m Too Hot Now, was published in 2005. Now retired from clinical practice, Roger has continued to write, teach and lecture in the United Kingdom and worldwide on consulting skills and medical education. He is a Visiting Professor of Medical Education at Brunel University Medical School, London. Roger is a practising Zen Buddhist; he plays the violin to semi-professional standard, and is something of an authority on the music of Franz Schubert.
About the illustrator
Jamie Hyes MB ChB FRCGP DRCOG PGCertMedEd
Jamie is an enthusiastic and fulfilled GP, committed husband, and father to two boys. Qualified from Birmingham in 2002, he is currently a training programme director for West Birmingham VTS and Chair of the RCGP Midland Faculty. He recalls that when as a medical student he was questioned about his CV’s mention of artistic interests, he described the practice of medicine as an art. He is delighted to keep utilising the creativity from life before training in this book, as well as in his practice, VTS websites and social media activities as @ArtfulDoctor. Jamie’s video-poem extolling the virtues and privileges of general practice, ‘The National Health,’ won the RCGP Midland Faculty’s ‘Inspiration’ competition. Further pieces on general practice followed, with #GP150w (GP in 150 words), and cross-Faculty collaborations such as the Christmas-themed ‘The Night Before CQC,’ #12daysofGP, and #GPKipling, a video communicating the diversity of our workforce in a GP-themed rewrite of Kipling’s ‘If.’ The #GPKipling video launched the RCGP Annual Conference in 2019, and the Billy Joel-inspired, GP-themed 'Start the Fire' launched the RCGP Annual Conference in 2021. He was awarded RCGP Faculty Champion in 2022. His short illustrated film examining the evidence for continuity of care within a storytelling narrative entitled 'GP's a Wonderful Life' featured on The General Practice Podcast in 2023. His illustrations have featured at RCGP Annual Conference, in GPfrontline, RCGP InnovAiT, and of course in Roger Neighbour’s The Inner Physician (2016).

Terms of sale
General Terms and Conditions and Customer Information / Privacy Policy
I. General Terms and Conditions
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions apply to all contracts that you conclude with us as a provider (AHA-BUCH GmbH) via the Internet platforms AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of any of your own terms and conditions used by you will be objected to
(2) A consumer within the meaning of the following regulations is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction for purposes that can predominantly be attributed neither to their commercial nor their independent professional activity. An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal capacity who, when concluding a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of his independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The object of the contract is the sale of goods.
(2) If an article is listed by us at AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the offer page at AbeBooks or ZVAB constitutes the binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract is concluded via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The goods intended for purchase are stored in the "shopping cart". Via the corresponding button in the navigation bar you can call up the "shopping cart" and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the personal data as well as the payment and shipping conditions, all order data will be displayed again on the order overview page.
Before sending the order, you have the option of checking all information again, changing it (also via the "back" function of the Internet browser) or cancelling the purchase.
By submitting the order via the "Buy now" button, you declare the acceptance of the offer in a legally binding manner, whereby the contract is concluded.
(4) The processing of the order and transmission of all information required in connection with the conclusion of the contract is partly automated by e-mail. You must therefore ensure that the e-mail address you have stored with us is correct, that the receipt of the e-mails is technically ensured and, in particular, that spam filters do not prevent it.
§ 3 Right of retention, retention of title
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if it concerns claims from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until full payment of the purchase price.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights exist.
(2) In the case of used goods, the warranty period is one year from delivery of the item, deviating from the statutory regulation. The shortening of the deadline does not apply:
- culpably caused damages attributable to us from injury to life, limb or health and in the case of other damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item.
(3) As a consumer, you are requested to check the item immediately upon delivery for completeness, obvious defects and transport damage and to inform us and the freight forwarder of any complaints as soon as possible. If you do not comply with this, this will have no effect on your statutory warranty claims.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of performance, place of jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. In the case of consumers, this choice of law shall only apply insofar as this does not withdraw the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the state of the consumer's habitual residence (principle of favourability).
(2) The place of performance for all services arising from the existing business relationships with us as well as the place of jurisdiction is our registered office, insofar as you are not a consumer, but a merchant, a legal entity under public law or a special fund under public law. The same applies if you do not have a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU or if the domicile or habitual residence is not known at the time the action is brought. The right to appeal to the court at another statutory place of jurisdiction remains unaffected by this.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall expressly not apply.
